What else can I help you with?
Do earthquakes have to occur on land?
Nope - they can occur at sea too - they're the main cause of tidal waves.
What is the name of the tidal wave that can occur after a earthquake?
Such waves have nothing to do with tides. The preferred term is tsunami.
Do waves occur before or after an earthquake?
waves occur all the time but after an earthquake tidal waves occur. Tidal waves are the cause of the tectonic plates colliding underwater. After the collision over time the wave goes form a small bump in the water to growing bigger and bigger into giant super wave capable of destroying towns.
What are some effects of landslides?
earthquakes may occur because of landslides and tidal waves may also be effects.
What feature puts Japan most at risk of dangerous tidal waves?
It is on the Pacific Rim, where many earthquakes occur.
What season do tidel waves mostly occur in?
Tidal waves, also known as tsunamis, can occur throughout the year but are most commonly associated with seismic or underwater volcanic events. They are not caused by seasonal changes.
Some of the advantages of tidal wave energy?
Tidal waves are unpredictable. There is no way at present to capture their energy. We can capture the energy of tides and also of waves, but not of tidal waves.
What is a possible effects of earthquakes that occur on the ocean floor?
Tsunamis (aka tidal waves) are a possibility, but are not limited to undersea quakes.
What are advantages of tidal waves?
There are no obvious advantages of tidal waves. The damage they do outweighs anything else.
Would you recommend using tidal wave energy in Australia?
Tidal waves are unpredictable. There is no way at present to capture their energy. We can capture the energy of tides and also of waves, but not of tidal waves.
What percent of volcanoes cause tidal waves?
no volcanoes cause tidal waves - the plates create land. earthquakes, however, do make tidal waves and tsunamis in the aftermath. look that up instead.
How are tidal waves used to generate electricity for the power grid?
Tidal waves are not used to generate electricity. A tidal wave is a huge wave, rather like a tsunami, that occurs very infrequently, and without warning.Tides are harnessed to produce electricity, and also waves are used, but not tidal waves.
